Famine Is Not A Charity Case
Peter Singer wrote this paper in Philosophy & Public Affairs to bring up two issues of the refugees in East Bengal. The first is about how the refugees are being deprived of food, shelter and medical care. Singer’s moral values come from the lack of humanity shown from India and the lack of aid funds from other countries such as Britain and Australia. The second, he...

Jamestown: Why Did So Many Colonists Die?
“Who died this time?” could have been one of the most spoken questions in the early colonies of Jamestown. In 1607 about 110 Englishmen arrived at a bay of the coast of Virginia. This bay was considered Jamestown. Early Jamestown: Why did so many colonists die? Jamestown was founded in 1607 by John Smith and 110 English settlers. Out of the original 110 settlers, only 40 survived, which mean that about...

From Three Views
The Great Famine of 1845 -1849 was a trying time for many, specifically the Irish, British, and immigrants to Canada. These three groups, although in the middle of the same problem, held very different sometimes opposing views. To fully understand why there were various views one must take into account the social, cultural, economic, and governmental situations of each group. For the British, the problem was whether or not to take action, and if so how and when. In the...

Help All You Want
Imagine a small African family in Zimbabwe, a small child’s mother and father work the fields but due to further hunger are too weak to even stand up, let alone go out into the fields and work. This has started an entire chain reaction in the community. Since the child’s mother and father cannot go out into the field and harvest food, another family goes hungry, and then another and another, continuing on a path spiraling downwards. Now imagine this same family, but a stable...

Ethiopia is one of the world's larger countries. It has long been plagues with the torment of poverty, illiteracy, hunger and disease. Famine, a reduction in everyday food supply, is a widespread problem that can strike in any corner of the developing world. Although sometimes unnoticed, this shortage of food slowly leads to hunger and malnutrition. The food shortage in Ethiopia is not caused by natural disaster, but instead is a direct result of social, political and economic human forces. Not...

Famine
Famine can be defined as a temporary failure of food production or distribution systems in a particular region that leads to increased mortality due to starvation and diseases that result from lack of food.
Famine is a very serious crisis that must be solved because famine leads to many hunger-related deaths worldwide. “In 1996 about 849 million people lived in famine, about 35,000 people die each day. A majority were children”. (Clark 148)...

This essay will investigate the response of the British Government during the great famine of Ireland between 1845 and 1852. It will look at the political ideology that inspired the public relief works and how they failed to offer relief from starvation, but instead focused on bringing about social change inspired by largely an anti-Irish sentiment. It will also examine the role of the soup kitchen’s that were set up to attack famine conditions directly and how this represented and exposed the...

Famine, Affluence, and Morality Notes
Peter Singer opens his argument by introducing the reader to a famine in Bengal setting up his first premise that starvation is bad (Singer 631-632). He then suggests for his second premise that if it is possible to stop something bad from happening, then we should do all we can to stop it as long as it does not cause something else just as bad to happen.
Singer says that if everyone donated five pounds, then there would be sufficient funds to help...

The Irish Potato Famine
Six long years, with over 1 million dead, and nearly a quarter of the population missing, the Irish Potato Famine left a massive imprint in history (Irish 1). Most people underestimate the destruction of the Potato Famine because 1 million does not look like very many in today's population numbers. Back in the 1800's, less than 8 million populated...

Understanding Famine:
Famine is usually understood to be a decline in food availability. A sudden, sharp reduction in food in any particular geographic locale usually results in widespread hunger and famine. Understanding Somalia’s famine or any famine goes far beyond the traditional generalist statement mentioned above. A complex environment influences Somalia’s current and previous famines. Political instability, an undefined...

Overpopulation
Overpopulation is a natural hazard we must all do something about. Not only is it destroying our natural habitat and ecosystem, it is also affecting every animal below us down the food chain. Besides the loss of biodiversity in our environment and the negative effects on our animal and plant life, overpopulating the Earth is severely cutting into our food supply. More and more people are going hungry every day due to our rising birth rates and the advancement in medical care...

The lumper fed Ireland for a time, but it also set the stage for human and economic ruin. Evolutionary theory suggests that populations with low genetic variation are more vulnerable to changing environmental conditions than are diverse populations. The Irish potato clones were certainly low on genetic variation, so when the environment changed and a potato disease swept through the country in the 1840s, the potatoes (and the people who depended upon them) were devastated.Thesis: The Irish...

Famine, Affluence, and Morality
In his article “Famine, Affluence, and Morality“, Peter Singer says that humans have an obligation to the poor and starving; based on the assumption that suffering and starvation is bad. The assumption, that there is something morally wrong with having human beings starved to death should make one question whether they have a duty to the poor. Peter examines whether an affluent society like ours has any moral...

In 1845, one of the worst disasters in Ireland's long and turbulent history struck. A terrible strain of potato blight wiped out much of the crop, leaving the majority of Ireland's people without food. In the years following, blight struck again and again, coupled with devastating epidemics of disease caused by starvation and close quarters. All this occurred under the very nose of the British Empire, one of the most powerful in the world at the time. Yet, because of their prejudice and general...

. Potato crops were the best option for Irish people because potatoes provide lots of nutrients and the crops were easy to grow in Irish lands due to their adaptability in almost any surface.
However, the dependency on potatoes started to be dangerous when a new potato disease commonly known as potato blight affected the crops year after year in the 1840’s. This disease caused the loss of great part of the crops until the end of the decade, but especially in the year 1847, called the black...

THE IRISH POTATO FAMINE
Pre-Famine History
The potato was introduced to Europe sometime in the 16th century. There are many theories on how it arrived, but the one with the most credibility is from a case study done by Theresa Purcell. She explains how the white potato, also known as the Irish potato, originated in the Andean Mountains and was brought to Europe by the Spaniards. The potato was originally classified in the same family as the poisonous nightshade so people refrained from...

Gerald Keegan’s Famine Diary
Written by:
James J Managan
The Irish Famine was a very important event that happened in 1847. It had killed between 500,000 and 1.5 million people (The Irish Potato famine, 1847). The potato was not even a native crop to Ireland, until around 1570 when it was brought over from The Americas. In the beginning, the potato seemed like it was the ideal crop for reasons such as it grew perfectly in the Irish climate, it was easy to grow, and it did not take up...

In "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" Peter Singer argues that affluent individuals, in fact, almost all of us are living deeply immoral lives by not contributing to the relief and prevention of famine. The causes of famine are various and include human wrongdoing, but this doesn't matter, according to Singer. What matters is that each of us can minimize the effects of the famines that are now occurring and can take steps to prevent those that might occur. As we go about our daily business,...

Topic: Famines, poverty, government policy, food supply in colonial India
Introduction
From 1760 till 1943 India was hit by terrible famines on a regular basis. More than 85 million Indians died in these famines which were in reality genocides done by the British Raj. Contrast this to the fact that there have been no famine related deaths since independence. British famine policy in India was influenced by the arguments of Adam Smith, as seen by the non-interference of the government with...

﻿How far were Mao’s agricultural policies responsible for the scale of the famine?
Mao’s agricultural policies could certainly be seen as responsible for the scale of the famine or at least as a huge factor contributing towards it. Other factors, such as the conspiracy of silence, bad weather and withholding information by peasants and government officials were also partly responsible for the scale of the famine; however Mao’s policies played the biggest role in causing the scale of the...

It means being too weak to fight off disease, and dying from common infections. It means kids going blind from a lack of Vitamin A, or having brittle bines...

The Great Leap Forward was a push by Mao Zedong to change China from a predominantly agrarian (farming) society to a modern, industrial society - in just five years.

Mao hoped to increase China's agricultural output. He relied, however,...
